Instead of the princess visiting us today, I was invited to visit her instead.
I pulled aside the curtains covering the carriage window to look outside. It took me a moment to realise that we were coming up to the palace outer gates.
I thought we would be asked to stop but the guards did not even challenge us and immediately opened the doors to let us pass.
I let the curtains fall back into place before turning to Katsuki who sat opposite me, "This might be a little late to ask but… Do I need to observe some kind of etiquette in the palace?"
"There is no need, Mistress, you can just act as you normally do," Katsuki replied without hesitation, as though she already knew I would ask this question ahead of time.
"Umm… Alright… What if I see the king and queen?"
